>> taxpayers should no longer fund the benefits of obese people or drug and alcohol addicts
As if the taxpayers have a say in the matter. What a canard.

your govt controls your healthcare
this means they have to pay for it.
your govt is broke and is looking for any way to save money.
if you give them any excuse, they’ll gladly scratch your from the liability column.

Take the “benefits” out of these fatsos and watch the pounds melt away, literally. The biggest incentive that these obese people need is a hit in the bank account and the obligation to work for a chance.

Hahaha, another stupid government program... Sure, require them to accept treatment. All of them will. To keep their benefits. But will they comply with the treatment? The government’s demand is that they “accept” treatment, not that they succeed at it. And things continue as before, except the taxpayer is out the cost of the “treatment.”

This is coming from the Conservative party though, not Labour. So I don’t think fatties and addicts on the dole are their primary constituents.

I wonder what Orwell would say about the use of the word conservative to describe Cameron’s government.
To: Jim Robinson
Aint socialism grand.And ironic - those in danger of being deemed too expensive to keep alive are the same ones who make the most of the government teat. Turn your life over to a 'benevolent" government and become as livestock - exist only at the pleasure of your owners.
